  • Patent number: 10629394
    Abstract: A keyswitch assembly is provided. The keyswitch assembly includes a keyswitch module having a key cap, a light guiding member disposed above an outer surface of the key cap and a light source module disposed corresponding to the light guiding member. The light guiding member has a first surface adjacent to the key cap and a second surface facing away from the key cap and opposite the first surface. The light source module provides a light beam incident to the light guiding member. In the invention, the illumination effect of the keyswitch assembly is improved and the power consumption of the keyswitch assembly is reduced by way of disposing the light guiding member of the keyswitch assembly above the outer surface of the key cap.

  • Publication number: 20190304716
    Abstract: A keyswitch assembly is provided. The keyswitch assembly includes a base plate, at least one pressing mechanism disposed on the base plate, a plurality of elastic supporting members disposed on the base plate, and a keycap covering the at least one pressing mechanism and the plurality of elastic supporting members. In the embodiments, a plurality of elastic supporting members is disposed at equal intervals to support the keycap. By way of such configuration, the user experiences the same or similar hand feeling when pressing any point of the keycap. There is no difference in the pressing feel due for pressing the middle or two ends of the keycap. Meanwhile, the problem of the poor electrical conduction resulted from the deformation of the keycap may be avoided.

  • Patent number: 10079124
    Abstract: A keyboard apparatus includes a base plate, a plurality of lifting mechanisms mounted to the base plate, and a plurality of keycaps. The keycaps are correspondingly mounted to the lifting mechanisms and are movable up and down relative to the base plate to form a pressing stroke. Each of the keycaps has a pressing surface, an assembly surface opposite to the pressing surface, and a plurality of connectors. The connectors are disposed on the assembly surface to be connected to the lifting mechanism, and a jig engagement portion protrudes from one side of at least one of the connectors. When the keycap is to be painted, the keycap is removably fixed to a painting jig by the jig engagement portion.
